I went to a local Sikkens paint dealer and he knew the paint codes. Steel grey is Sikkens auto base plus BMW 1043 or Akzo code 9948, the silver stripe is Sikkens auto base plus Q811P which matches up with my vin and build data. Sterling grey is Sikkens auto base plus BMW 472. I don't think the 4 digit paint codes on these post match up with original BMW paint codes. Most BDR cars have been painted with Sikkens and are not compatible with actual BMW paint. I have used the formula for touch up and it matches.
